This page contains information about the California Predictive Model
spreadsheets which are used to comply with the California reformulated
gasoline (CaRFG) regulations . The 2007 amendments to the Phase 3
California Reformulated Gasoline Regulations (CaRFG3), including the
CaRFG3 Predictive Model, were implemented on December 31, 2009.

The
links below contain the spreadsheets for the Phase 2 and Phase 3
Predictive Models, and the supporting documents.
The supporting documents show the equations that constitute
the Phase 2 and Phase 3 models, the method of using the
predictive models, and the equivalency criteria used
in approving complying gasoline.

ARB
uses an electronic reporting system in which the producers and
importers submit electronically to ARB the properties of the
CaRFG3 Predictive Model formulations they intend to produce. The
Predictive Model spreadsheets used by the producers and importers have
been revised to include the forms needed by the producers and importers
to report electronically. The forms attached to the spreadsheets are
filled out by the producers or importers and e-mailed to the
ARB Enforcement Division. For producers please see the California
Reformulated Gasoline Electronic Reporting Users's Guide for Producers and for
importers please see the California
Reformulated Gasoline Electronic Reporting Users's Guide for Importers in the links below.

The
spreadsheets for CaRFG3 are categorized for producers, importers, and small refineries.
